New CUMBERLAND, December 23.-The
cold snap has caused a suspension of navi-
cation in this part of the river. As We
have a railroad now it will not cause as
much Inconvenience as formerly.
Owing to the frozen condition Of the
ground work is partially Suspended on the
grading and track laying.
Dr. Garlic, the head OF the Calumet
works across the river, was here to see if
be could arrange TO ship a portion Of their
sewer pipe over the branch road. If IL
suitable point for loading could I've secured
he would boat the pipe to this side. The
T.. x =. road does not furnish cars enough
aiOTS the river road to meet the demands
The people living along the river north
of this place are anxious to have the road
continue up through the county.
The town authorities are getting a sup
ply Of street lamps put up on the princi.
pal streets The Ohio Valley Gas Com
pany will furnish the gas for them.
The pork supply is light and prices
higher than usual. A number of people
owing to the hog cholera being in the upper
end Of the county, are afraid of pork and
will not buy any from that section, and as
a consequence our usual source of supply
to that extent is cut OF. The disease has
about disappeared.
A number CT expectant candidates
among the Republicans are quietly con-
sUlting the political barometer to see if
their mercurial features are rising TO the
surface. The Sheriffalty and Assessor
ship are the plums sought after. Go in,
gentlemen, the early bird, etc, you know.
The PIttsburg daihes arrive over the
usw road about one and half hours
sooner than formerly. The Wheeling pa
pcrS, so far as early arrival is concerned,
have the call by something near two
hours
The annual Sunday School convention
Of The county will be held in the Town
Hall on Wednesday and Thursday Of next
week, 2Sth and 29th.
More Christmas goods are selling than AT
any former period.
People seem diVi ed as to the observance
of Christmas Some will keep Saturday
and Others Monday.

Portions Of the body were infinitely
examined. The boots on the feet and
filling of the teeth, together with
shreds of clothes. fully identified the
victim as Harlan. He was a notorious
gambler, and the theory is that a man,
as yet unknown, whom Harlan had
t1eeced out of $500 about a week ago,
decoyed him to Compton under pre-
tense OF taking a ride.
1t is supposed that the stranger sud-
denly turned on Harlan after getting
him there, shot him and carried his
body into the barn, where he poured
oil on the corpse and set fire to it,
burning the barn and body. Harlan
disappeared on the night of October 7,
between ten and eleven O'Clock. He

Fire from Ice.

The London correspondent of lie
Moniteur de la Photographic writes to
that journal that in the middle of the
Winter which has just elapsed, a
student made a lens of ice, with which
he lit the pipes of some of the skaters
on the Serpentine by means of the
solar rays-an experiment, he says
which was first performed in the polar
regions by DR.. Scoresby, to the great
establishment of the sailors, for they
could not understand why the ice did
not freeze the beams of the sun. We
may remark that Professor Tyndall at
times would set fire at the Royal In
stitution to a little heap of gunpowder
with rays from the electric are con-
centrated upon the powder by means
of a lens of ice.
His explanation was that although
ice absorbs rays of certain wave
lengths and is gradually melted there
by, other waves it does not absorb,
and these latter produce the heating
effect at the focus of the lens. 1t is
wholly a question of the relative mo-
tons OF the molecules of frozen water
and the motions OF the waves of light
when there is discord between the two
the d~lscordant waves pass through the
ice without ABSORPTION.
